I actually posted a poll thread on another site, asking if i should go with graphics or leave it alone, and unanimously the response was leave it alone, and believe me I love the way it looks, BUT in person it looks super clean, but it doesnt have that instant, STOP AND STARE effect... UNLESS you are a TRUCK person.
I saw that first hand at the last car show...
whatever I do will be inline with what I have already done... you guys seem to like what I have done so far... where's the faith???

Engine pics on hold... it is still in pieces, ready for assembly, as soon as I get my TVS...
I think the ice machine in hell will be done sooner...

I think if you're at a car show with the hood open it will draw the crowd.

I got to check out his G8... pure sex, if i didnt already have a DD, i would be getting one of those... and YES brian, i heard you leave...lol.

Brian actually do something, much less under your truck? no pictures

If you were to do flames they would have to be suttle. not sure what color you would use. maybe just use a pearl in the clear coat with a lighter blue?

i think the pearl will look bad ***, as long as its used with enough area to make it stand out. im a huge fan of pearl! +1 on the pics, but i know you will.

OK a little update...

Got the word my 2300 will be ready in a week, and the block is off for one last modification, and then it is on to assembly! Dont worry, I will post pics like a ****...

On a side note, I am looking for an office/warehouse right now... something about 1200sq ft with a roll up door that i can store my truck in, do work on it, and run my business from a front enclosed office... I am going to trick it out... tools, compressor, work bench, lounge area with a big screen TV i have in storage along with couches, a full size fridge, microwave, BBQ, Mig welder, and more... and maybe a lift!
I found a couple of places near my house for around $2k a month... i cant wait, I will post pics when i get in one... i have a few appointments next week.
